Planting & Care
Sow Troika Cream Nasturtium seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, planting about 1/2 inch deep and 12-18 inches apart. For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost in individual pots, as nasturtiums dislike root disturbance. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, which typically takes 7-14 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings emerge, thin them to the strongest plants.
Nasturtiums are relatively carefree once established. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soil promotes lush leaves with fewer flowers. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest leaves and flowers as desired for culinary use; regular picking encourages more blooms. In containers, ensure proper drainage and monitor moisture closely.
